I installed them, and for the very first time the sound panel is fully functional! All sliders are working, and also the localization is fine. No idea if the drivers fixes any bugs, but until now they are the best ones for me. Good 2 see that nVIDIA is working on driver support.

Installing new Nforce drivers?

I'm running the lastest Nforce driver pak from MSI on my K7N420. When the new Nforce drivers from Nvidia come out (Soon I hope) should I be able to install them over the MSI Nforce drivers I'm running now? If not, could someone please tell me an easy way to uninstall old Nforce drivers, MSI or Nvidia.
Thanks
Dennis

Thanks for the reply. One more quick queston. I'm running an Gf4 add in card so removing the Nvidia display drivers in Add/Remove does the video drivers, I know this one. What listing in Add/Remove removes the Nforce drivers?
Thanks
Dennis

Alcahol 120 percent and new nforce drivers

http://www.nforcershq.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=34891
latest version told me with new nvidia drivers i had no burner
so im using an older one
well this seems to be the fix
Making it work with the updated IDE drivers is easy, in options change the 'Device Control Interface' from default to the other one. Restart Alcohol 120% and all your devices should be listed.
might save some one a headache

Concerning the IDE driver. Same as all the other versions Nvidia has released for me. Complete junk. Also, it appears they removed the file. The links to it are dead or redirected to the 4.12's...which are also junk.
1. Breaks my Sound Card. System hangs on audio driver install then will no longer boot, except to Safe Mode to remove the driver, due to nForce gameport incompatibility. Standard IDE does not hang, then Gameport can just be disabled (since the nForce2 chip breaks it anyway).
2. Breaks Easy Recovery Pro (data recovery software) and who knows what else. When it attempts to scan the drives, it fails with a Windows error. Standard IDE driver works fine.
3. SiSoft Sandra reports slower speeds than standard IDE driver.
Standard score 35247 kB/s
Nvidia score 30124 kB/s

So the answer is that it's newer compared to MSI 5.01 pack and Nvidia 4.27 pack.
Agp/gart version 3.77 in MSI 5.01 driverpack and in nvidia's 4.27 driverpack .
And agp/gart version 4.36 in nvidia's 5.10 driverpack .
Basically there is nothing new in the Gart department that has not already been out, none of the above solve the punkbuster freezing problem with the K8N Neo Plat. mobo. Neither does the following Gart below which is newer then all of the above:

As far as Im aware that is the newest Gart driver available (please correct me if Im wrong), and its dated flipping April!!! Its Flipping September!!! still we have this problem, I wish nvidia would release something a bit more upto date.

nForce driver set v5.1 did not make any visible harm to my Mega180.

New nForce drivers next week!

According to a German source (with an interview with nVidia), new drivers are supposed to be released next week.
A knowledgeable individual @ NForcer's HQ, who claims to have some inside info on this, says that we will be very pleased with the update(s).
I predict that it's true on both counts. nVidia is in too precarious of a position to let their current client base down if it wants to stay ahead of the competition and stay ahead of AMD MB rivals as they maintain their dominant chipset share.

Well, of course... just like the 2.42 set was going to cure everyone's ills. I sense an opportunity for another round of complaints ... just kidding... you can always hope.

Older Mobo/Newer Nvidia Drivers

Having some weird issues with the newest nvidia ethernet driver (67.89), here is my system specs on this 2+ year old system:
MSI P6N Plat (BIOS 1.7)
Q6600@stock speed
4gig RAM@800mhz
Windows XP Pro 32bit SP3
I decided to upgrade all the nforce drivers to the latest, and after the 15.25 installer removed the nforce ethernet, it rebooted and
continued the install with the newest drivers. Now I usually set the network connection to show when it's connected in the taskbar. When the computer boots into windows with the new driver, this icon doesn't pop up, and when I try to load a web browser, it acts as if
there is no connection. As soon as I open up the Network Connections or device manager areas, the icon will pop up and I can then connect. I have never had this much of a delay in loading this driver at bootup. If I sit at the desktop and do nothing, the icon/connection never shows up.
So I went back to the MSI site, and I see they currently list an older version of the nforce drivers for this board still, so I downloaded those, and only chose to install the ethernet driver (67.15). Now I'm back to having my adapter/connection load up right away, but this is with a mismatch of nvidia drivers. I'm just wondering if anyone else has come across this with the new drivers, or doesn't have these issues with the new nvidia driver. It may work better with a fresh OS install, but since I got it working the way it was, I'd rather not do a reinstall just for the new driver. I'm not having any other issues with the system.

Yes, I was hoping not to break anything, but the risk was low (lower than a BIOS update for sure). Usually when issues do arise, the first thing someone asks is "Do you have the latest drivers?". While nothing was broke, my main hope was for slightly better performance than before, which we are all trying to get out of our rigs.
I was wondering if anyone here with the same motherboard might have run into this too. I guess I'm more worried I will end up doing a fresh reinstall one day a few years from now and only have access to the latest drivers, and wonder what the issue is. I'll probably be installing a different OS at that time anyways.

Stable nForce drivers

So everyone knows 2.00 nForce drivers does NOT fix BkSOD. Does that mean the stable version is still 1.05? I couldn't find the 1.05 drivers on nVidia's web site until I browsed through the download URL for the 2.00 nForce drivers.
Could someone tell me whether the BkSOD is only an Win XP issue? The fix description on nVidia's web site indicated it (2.00) was an XP issue but didn't say anything about Win 2000.
BTW, I experienced a recent BkSOD in Win XP while ripping a DVD. It was about 6 Gig total but only ripped about 40% when the problem occured.

OK, got new RAM since Monday. 2 modules of Crucial 256 PC2100 CAS2.5
Since My original generic 128 MB PC2100 was also CAS2.5 I decided to have 3 modules on the motherboard. 128 is in the socket closest to the motherboard.
The strange thing is that initial memtest-86 found errors. I then changed CAS from 'Auto' to '2.5' in BIOS. Ever since then memtest-86 have not reported any errors. 2nd night ran for probably 7 hours, 3rd night ran for 17 hours. No errors reported. I was running the 'standard' test, not 'extended' or 'complete'.
Everything was freshly installed on HD. Playing Counter-Strike with latest patch caused a reboot with-in 5 min. I tried using DirectX mode instead of OpenGL but the colors kept shifting in game. Then I tried software 3D emulation and it just looked very bad.
My reserved RAM for integrated graphics is 32 and 64 for AGP aperature.
Am I missing something?

Nforce Drivers for Diamond Plus

Hi all.....
Anyone use the new nvidia chipset drivers (6.86whql) yet??
Any opnions??
Thanks

Hello !!
I am using them and have no problems with them....
But they are not faster than 6.85, they contain only minor bugfixes.
Its very important to deinstall all nforce drivers and the nvidia firewall, before installing this new drivers.
Otherwise the system will crash on bootup.
Greetz
I have an SATA hard drive and if I uninstall the previous nForce drivers first then the system won't boot. Are you supposed to reboot the machine before installing the new drivers?

NForce drivers version 1.13 - problems

Firstly I’d like to say that this is my first post on this message board. I a huge fan of MSI and like to say that most of my components in all my systems are MSI based. I’ve been reading this board (and old one) for over a year now! And its helped loads. I have recently purchased the CNR raiser card so that I can get 5.1 out of the Creative Inspire 5.1 – 5300 speakers. I running Windows XP Professional with Version 1.13 of the nForce drivers.When I use PowerDVD XP it works fine and all 5 channels work correctly with in UT 2003 too. Now the problem is with only game I really play on clanbase which is Counterstrike (Half Life). I have noticed that not may people have posted regarding this so either people don’t play it or it works fine on their systems.
1) I was having problems with it only coming out of 2 speakers with the EAX selected within the game. I changed the speaker set-up in the nForce sound application from 5.1 to 4-speakers profile and started to get EAX coming out of 4-speakers the but the problem is the sound is really distorted. As soon as I disable EAX it sounds fine and ultra clear! Any ideas?
2) Other problem is with the MSi GeForce 3 Ti 200 (128MB flavour) I am using the latest beta drivers but I’m having problems with the nVidia control panel. I’ve tried to uninstall the detonator drivers via add remove programs then used the detonator remover app that should give me a fairly clean system then I reinstalled the latest drivers (this process worked for the last beta drivers but since I installed the 1.13 its gone back to not letting me into the advanced settings).
3) I’m also experiencing problem with Counterstrike locking up after a certain amount of time! At first I thought it was a heat based problem but I have a coolermaster server case & 6+ fans and its super cool inside the case. This problem seemed to get better with each new version of detonator but its back now with the latest beta version. I’ve tried setting the priority of the process to above normal but it doesn’t seem to help.
Apart from the above I think that the nForce board is by far the best motherboard I have ever used and cant wait for the nForce 2.
Thanking you in advance!

Hi Jonathon,
What BIOS are you on, and do you have APIC Uniprocessor HAL loaded in XP?
Some people fixed their CS problems by having the GPU on a separate IRQ this way
